Hello folks. As the title states I am curious as to whether or not it is possible to capture an entire avatar portrait, not just the cropped version. When I use the right click "capture portrait" function it cuts off the top and bottom of my avatar and I want the whole thing! Is there a means of editing the default capture parameters at all? Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

if u do a capture in the current system ull notice the one captured and the one in game are slightly different, the captured one has a little bit missing off the top and bottom and in response tot he OP no, I dont know what to do about this

You couldn't just press the "Prt Scr"-button, then open MS Paint, go "CTRL"+"V", mark the section of the screen with your avatar on it, go "CTRL"+"C", go to "Philes", click "New", minimise the canvas size to something smaller than the size of your avatar, go "CTRL"+"V" again and then "Save as"... ?Or did I misunderstand something?

Yes, at the login screen when the character you want is selected you hit the same key you use to take ingame screen shots PRINT SCREEN and then you have that page saved which is a larger version of your avatar.

Thanks for the constructive replies to my post. A few of you understood my quandary with the current capture system and gave me some options for a work around. I right clicked "save image as" after I clicked on my portrait in these forums. It is a smaller image but I suppose it's better than nothing. Sadly when I try to screen shot the login page with the Print Screen Key it will only capture my desktop or web browser underneath, not the EVE client. I've highlighted my portrait on the login page, alt-tabbed through current applications and neither would work in allowing a screenshot of the client. This could be a Win7 issue though as I could always capture EVE screen shots with XP and Vista. If I recall correctly you used to be able to purchase prints of your avatar from CCP and that could be why the ingame portrait capture function is somewhat gimped. My reason for wanting the full portrait capture is of course the upcoming expansion and the fact my lovely picture will be no more. I've had this character since 2 days after the North American launch(my employment history is incorrect as it shows Lavondyss being some 2 months younger than she actually is)and I want the best portrait image I can get as a memento of all those years. At any rate thanks again for the replies!
